Does anyone have any info and pics of these depts trucks? I've seen a couple pics of both and they seem pretty wild. I can't seem to find much info on how or why they were speced they way they were.

Jersey City placed order with E one for a metro stick 100 fr  ladder truck slated for Ladder 8  with climb up ladders mounted at rear not sides like Ladder 12

Yes, I know, it's someone else's board and I have no say in how it is run.

Why the hell can't the moderators over there mind their own business and let threads run their course?  It seems like the second something gets a little off topic the locked icon appears.

The most recent one ( https://forums.radioreference.com/unicat...-line.html ) was closed with the post:  "Not sure how this thread got to where it is, but the original question has been answered so I'm closing it to avoid further off-topic crap."

Well, it got there with a member of the manufacturing team of the particular pager in question making the statement that if people had a radio they would not have a need for their pager.  If they had taken a moment to dig through the thread, they probably wouldn't have thought about it as "crap" and seen where the discussion was heading and that it was actually productive.  Of course, more often than not, the moderators seem to be high on their power and close things based on who is posting or at the slightest mention of something that they feel threatened by.

I'm posting this after being in the middle of several discussions only to find a padlock when I was just starting to appreciate someone else's view or when I thought someone was starting to appreciate mine.  That is the purpose of a DISCUSSION forum, not to have it monitored and censored at the drop of a hat.

I would like to publicly thank the moderators here for allowing Firepics' vision that topics be allowed to wander and delve into areas that no one thought they would go into while addressing issues of threats and defamation when they pop up on rare occasions.  The visitors gain more from this than you know.   

The board software was upgraded from 1.8.15 to 1.8.16 and I missed a step while doing it.  This has resulted in avatars and user rank stars not displaying.  I am working on it, but it might take some time for me to figure it out, please bear with me.

If you find any other issues, please let me know.

First off, HI, I'M BACK!

I have a growing number of fire scene photos, but many of them do not show fire (some don't even show smoke) - since it's the scene, does it still count even if there's no fire?

KME has introduced a new aerial truck
